Majestic mountain ranges, history-soaked lands and miles of white sandy beaches – Virginia is impossible to define by any one category. Known as the “Old Dominion” and “Mother of Presidents” – a reference to it being the birthplace of four of the first five presidents – America needs little reminder of the important role Virginia has played over the years, from the Civil War to the Revolution.

This rich history makes it one of the finest states in the country for colonial architecture, antiques and collectibles. For those who like to take a small piece of the past home with them, Virginia has a wealth of vintage markets, fleas and antique shows offering bargain prices on hidden treasures.

Here is our pick of the 15 best flea markets in Virginia:

1. The Virginia Bazaar
